❑Scheduling Multiple Technicians for the same Work Order using the Appointment Editor:
•Why? It is not unusual to need more than one Technician to complete a Work Order - whether for a complete system installation or a complex repair.
•How? To accommodate this need, any number of Technicians may be Scheduled to service the same Work Order.
➢Important Note: The Scheduling Multiple Technicians feature is optional and must be turned on before it will be available.
a)Setting the TechMultiSchedule option to True ("T") in the Company Settings dialog will allow Multiple Technicians to be assigned to the same Work Order.
b)If TechMultiSchedule is set to 'F' (the default setting in the Company Settings dialog), the User will not even see the Schedules tab on the New Appointment Form (see the Schedules tab in the illustration below).
